With Tiger Woods back in action in the Genesis Invitational at Riviera we thought we'd offer a quiz. Today will be Tiger Woods'm trivia for Wiki-Pete-ia on the Shemon and Sheppard show on ESPN Southwest Florida.
Plus, as an additional golf bonus: Thursday's show will broadcast live from Tiburon Golf Club, in Naples, Florida. That is the host sight of this weekend's Champions Tour Chubb Classic.
Golf is always a bit more exciting when Tiger is back in action. It's been almost two years since his serious car accident following this very Genesis Invitational. Tiger claimed he can still hit all of the required shots. However, walking long distances is still a challenge for him. Riviera is relatively flat with the acception of the first and eighteenth holes. Something to note: During Wednesday's practice round he stopped playing after 16 holes and his gate was reportedly a bit labored. So, we'll see how he recovers one day later and for the rest of the tournament.
Nevertheless, we always love seeing Tiger Woods back in action.
